About this Event
A regular, monthly contact improvisation jam space in Nottingham. Each two hour session will begin with an opening circle and warm up into the jam.
Previous contact improvisation experience recommended but not necessary. Do get in touch if you have any questions or doubts.
Contact Improvisation (CI) is a relational, touch-based movement practice that relies upon the physical exploration of two or more people as the starting point for movement possibilities. It involves playing with risk, vulnerability and trust through sharing weight, rolling, sliding, flying, supporting, and embodied consent. It supports communication through touch, a readiness for being-with, and a swiftness in re-orientation in gravity, allowing for gentle sensorial, and at times acrobatic and exhilarating dancing.
Dates:
I've organised three months worth of jams to begin with but I am hoping to make this a regular ongoing event and grow a thriving CI community.
